I think it misses the biggest feature yet - unlocked and untied to AT&T. I would buy it if only it had this feature.

Right now, I think that more raw power is needed from mobile processors. We haven't seen anything really new in mobile processors (aside from Moorestown, and that comes with a lot of caveats); mostly we have seen software updated.
For example, I am pretty sure a lot of the complaints of Flash being slow or clunky would go away with a speedier CPU/GPU; along the software optimizations that are being done to the software at the moment.
This would allow smaller cpu/batteries/etc in phones, making them slimmer/lighter and so on. I'm drooling just thinking about the applications.
The bad thing is though, that you'd need like 4G for some stuff and what about roaming costs in other countries.. But if you live in a 4G area it would be epic. Then take other phone when going somewhere else.
(I am just speculating mostly, but most facts should hold.)

- and rather than shutdown/reboot your phone to replace a dead battery at the end of a long day, you can just plug an external battery pack to continue to work. (or ubiquitous charger availability decreases the necessity...)

The iPhone OS upgrades are more like feature packs. MeeGo is going to be a much bigger change.
So... a feature pack on a phone that gets no real support is... sorta bad.

Looks like a big time winner, but I waited two hours and no mention of the rumored mac mini refresh. 
A few weeks ago, my friend told me he was really disappointed that the iPad didn't have at least a front facing camera and microphone. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now it seems like a glaring oversight.
